Compass Business Finance joins Construction Plant-hire Association

Compass Business Finance has joined the Construction Plant-hire Association (CPA), formalising its commitment to supporting businesses across the construction and plant-hire sectors.

The move follows more than two decades of Compass working with SMEs in construction, plant-hire and manufacturing, providing tailored financial support and building long-term relationships with operators across the sector. By joining the CPA, Compass aims to strengthen its links with the plant-hire community and remain closely connected to the challenges and priorities facing businesses in the industry.

The CPA represents more than 1,900 member companies across the UK and is the leading trade body for the plant-hire sector, promoting high standards, collaboration and best practice. Membership provides Compass with a platform to engage more directly with hire companies and contractors and to contribute to industry discussions around investment, growth and change.

Lauren Duke, Construction Finance Specialist at Compass Business Finance, said: “Joining the CPA feels like a very natural step for us.

“It’s an organisation that brings together forward-thinking, hardworking businesses across the construction and plant-hire community and we’re looking forward to being part of that. This new relationship allows us to stand even closer to the people and companies we support, and to understand their priorities firsthand.”

She added that Compass aims to work with CPA members as they consider investment decisions, including fleet upgrades, equipment replacement and moves towards more sustainable plant and machinery.
